Justin Fields is still ranked near the bottom of the league when it comes to QBR. Yall need to stop cherry picking this man’s stats. He’s still playing the exact same as he did in Chicago. Barely averaging 170 yards passing and barely a TD a game. Pittsburgh defense is elite and holding teams to under 13 points a game

This style of play ain’t sustainable and Tomlin knows it. That’s why he won’t commit to Fields

Go Fields! I'm proud for his success. He was a hell of a guy here and I'm glad he's making the most of his second bite at the apple. Since everything about either Fields or Williams becomes a comparison of them, let me weigh in.

Bears have 148 points over 6 games (round up to 25 ppg) and are 4-2, on a 3 game win streak.

The Steelers have 124 points over 6 games (round up to 21 ppg), are 4-2, and just stopped a losing streak.

Seems to me like if there was a primetime matchup between the two, Chicago would be favored to win by 4 points. The team captained by Williams would be the winner. Fantastic, Williams would be favored to have the best stat, 1-0 in the head to head matchup!

That’s not how being odds work. The winless lions could be 10 point favorites over the 16-0 Patriots, if for whatever reason, there was a massive amount of money bet on the Lions, and the book makers needed to set the spread and give points to the Pats, to get an even amount of money bet on the Patriots.

The public can usually tell who is the better team, and money talks. But the book makers give zero fucks about what team is good, and what team sucks. The line and spread exist for one reason: to get an equal amount of money bet on both teams. If money starts coming heavier on one team over the other, the line and spread adjusts, so that the money bet, evens out again.

The Bears were only 1.5 point favorites over the 1 win Jags in the UK.

Why? Because 1.5 points got an equal amount of money bet on the Bears, and the Jags. Bettors determine the spread, and always have.

hey man, his 4th quarter QBR has improved. his world beater status is going to net the Bears a 4th round pick.
Meh. Remember, while Marino was setting the world on fire stat wise, Elway was winning the AFC time and again, playing much like how Fields is now.

He’s not committing to Russ either.

Can we revisit this thread in four years and compare Caleb's stats to Fields' current stats?

Is Fields succeeding, sure. He’s also asked to do the bare minimum. What Williams is doing his rookie year as far as running an offense, Fields would never be able to do. Fields won’t ever win you a SB.

I don't think this thread is about Caleb.

I'm happy for Justin on two levels.
  1. He's a great dude and hard worker. I'm happy he's finding some success.
  2. Dat 4th round pick yo.
But for the most part, he is what he is here, just a little more efficient. At this rate though, he'll likely lead the team to a wild card and then lose to whoever they take on in the first round (one of Kansas City, Baltimore, Buffalo or Houston).

Didnt I read the bears have the largest point differential in the NFL in the 4th quarter?\
